Robert "LaVoy" Finicum, the spokesman of the refuge occupation, was shot and killed after he charged police during a roadside stop north of Burns on Tuesday, according to a man on Facebook who claims to be the driver of one of two vehicles involved in the highway shooting.
McConnell said he noticed movement, and Finicum "took off" in the pickup with the remaining passengers. He said Payne and Cox described encountering a police roadblock about a mile north on the highway and apparently tried to get around it, becoming stuck in the snow.
"When he exited the vehicle, the rear wheels were still spinning," McConnell said. "He charged at law enforcement" and was shot.

It will be interesting to find out who he was, where he came from, who he knew, and how he got involved in the occupation.
Maybe this is wrong, but here is where I got the info, I did not make it up:
Though many at the meeting were locals, participants included folks from Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Washington, Sproul said. Glenn Palmer, Grant County sheriff, was there by 6 p.m. when the mee

So why isn’t McConnell in jail?
yes.
Hands up. Don’t shoot.
He also us s nass if self cintradiction. He says he didnt see the shooting, but isnt speculating. ??? So why was he and the 18 y.o. Sent back to County, while the others were sent the Feds in Portland.
He was an FBI mole?
the saddest part about al this is that all this was absolutely unnecessary, the stop was unnecessary, the confrontation, everything- but in a couple of days, this will all just be ‘old news’ to the majority of people who just don’t even really give a crap except for a few brief moments perhaps where they are ‘shocked’ that this could happen- then later they move on to the next ‘shocking story’
I can NOT believe that after ruby ridge, Waco Texas etc that the feds would do this AGAIN
Bottom line the FBI was itching to shoot somebody to make an example and they did. This is all about shutting down dissent before it spreads.
Makes you wonder.
Grant County is the next county to the North. It is 70 miles from Burns. If Finicum was yelling about going to see the sheriff, which sheriff did he mean? The sheriff in the county he was going to (50 miles in front of him), or the sheriff in the county he was in at the time (20 miles behind him)?
In that case, why are you even reading this?
If this story is true then they were invited to a meeting in John Day by Haney Co Sheriff Palmer.
I would think that the invite would include safe passage.
John Day is in Grant Co and their sheriff is sympathetic to the cause.
Palmer appears to be a fed lap dog and in fact worked for the BLM and was a witness for the prosecution at the Hammond' "terrorism" trial.
Please disregard my reply to you. I saw that you accidentally posted that reply. I apologize.
Screw you. I'm so with these guys, you wouldn't believe. The FBI crap is B.S. If your take is different we have problems.
They obviously don't learn from the past.
See post #53. Sounds like they were set up.
Oops! Post #73

If the feds have video justifying their assault, they better produce it for the public pronto. Because this stinks to high heaven, despite your attempts to smear Finicum and the other dissidents.
